water loss

ok, bare with me on this... I just went all over the place for parts. I pressure tested the entire return line and even with a plug in the return that has been a nightmare from the start, I see it is leaking by. I was able to look at the jet without the male to male insert on it and I noticed where it meets the face plate, there was cracked edges on the lower half. As I am digging toward the fitting from the outside, I question myself on how this new fitting is going to go on. Looking at it, I see there is a nut that must help adhere the fitting to the side of the pool. How can I put this fitting behind the liner and through the wall of my pool? Will I need to lift the coping and slide it down the wall in between the liner? Is there something I am missing?
